Good to see. Will get his some high level experience win or lose.

Wood had a bye in the 1st rnd... Taylor had a fall in his 1st rnd in 4:33 (he was trailing at one point)
Wood got a fall w/ an assasin in 1:28 in his QF rnd
Nathan is wrestling now...

Taylor was trailing 6-5 when he scored a possible 2pt exposure just as time expired... he's blue, but red threw in the challenge brick.

They scored it 10-7 for Smith(red) in the end... Nathan on the short end.
(Smith is an athletic 125 Kg'er.)

Taylor was wrestling conservatively and trailed 0-6. He got pissed, turned it on, and lost because his last takedown and exposure came a second (or less) late. Lost 5-6.

I thought for sure he had that takedown. Like whiz said, way to turn it on late - all heart. Hated to see him lose on that challenge but its wrestling. Good experience. We were microseconds away from a Wood/Taylor showdown.

Smith IS athletic...

The ref was going to call Smith for passivity when he launched a double leg at Wood to nab a 2-0 lead (fortunately Jordan turned to avoid the 4 pointer.)
2-0 Smith into the break...
